Finite element investigation of lamination-induced curl due to residual stresses

Lamination is commonly used in roll-to-roll manufacturing to create a product with specific properties. During the lamination process, two or more webs are bonded in the nip contact zone between two rollers. A common defect of laminated webs is curl, that is the inability of the web to lie flat unde...

description	Lamination is commonly used in roll-to-roll manufacturing to create a product with specific properties. During the lamination process, two or more webs are bonded in the nip contact zone between two rollers. A common defect of laminated webs is curl, that is the inability of the web to lie flat under no tension. Curl originates from residual stresses in the laminate, often resulting from strain incompatibilities between the laminae. Complex nip mechanics induce shear and normal strains in the web laminae. Strain incompatibilities and consequent curl can be avoided when the strain in the laminae are identical, which results in a complex inverse problem for operators. A robust predictive tool can avoid using a costly trial-and-error approach.
